Answer:
the probability is 25/144 or about 0.174
Step-by-step explanation:
his chance of not getting the shot is 5/12, so multiply 5/12×5/12 to get the chance of him missing both.
Mario usually makes 7 out of 12 shots, the probability that mario will NOT make either of his next 2 shots is 25/144
To solve the problem, let us define probability
This is the likelihood of an event. Probability is given mathematically as P(event) = no of required outcomes/total number of outcomes
Since Mario makes 7 out of 12 shots, the probability that he makes a shot is P(shot) = 7/12. The probability that he makes no shot is
P(no shot) = 1 - P(shot)
= 1 - 7/12
= 5/12
Since Mario's shots are independent events, the probability of his first shot does not affect that of the second. So, the probability that Mario will not make either ofhis next 2 shots is
P(no 2 shot) = P(no first shot) × P(no second shot)
= P(no shot) × P(no shot)
= 5/12 × 5/12
= 25/144
So, since Mario is practicing ice hockey and usually makes 7 out of 12 shots, the probability that mario will NOT make either of his next 2 shots is 25/144
